Problem: How to send mail using gmail.
Solution:
Often it is tedious to setup and maintain a mail server. If you have a
gmail accout, you can use gmail as SMTP server to send mail. To do
that we need to specify username and password of gmail account in
web.config.
web.config.smtp_server = 'smtp.gmail.com'
web.config.smtp_port = 587
web.config.smtp_username = '[email protected]'
web.config.smtp_password = 'secret'
web.config.smtp_starttls = True
Once this configuration is set, web.sendmail can be used to send
mail using the gmail account. Gmail signs all these mails.
web.sendmail('[email protected]', '[email protected]', 'subject', 'message')
